Visit Kisoro: tourism, permits, and who owns the rooms
An independent guide to Uganda’s volcano country, covering permits, transport, lodging, and the economics behind Kisoro’s visitor trade.
Field notes
The guide combines travel logistics with a property-economics section called The Ledger. Its visible figures include an $800 non-resident gorilla permit, a $60 golden monkey permit, a UGX 50,000 Kampala bus fare, and an approximately 3.5-hour road journey from Kigali. The site says its figures were checked against Uganda Wildlife Authority tariff reporting and operator listings, while advising travellers to confirm permits directly with UWA.
